In other words, faced with the most devastating unprovoked attack on American citizens in the nation's history, many Democrats are inclined to blame America first, as if we deserved to be attacked.

Yes, and also notice the lack of anger on the left.

As a former lefty, I can tell you that the process of becoming one involves psychological renunciation of one's American citizenship, in order to become a "citizen of the world", as all of them see themselves. This condition PREVENTED them from feeling any anger, as the rest of us did.

This is why most libs have responded to 9-11 as if it weren't THEIR COUNTRY which was attacked, and I maintain that is effectively the case.

If that's the case then can't we just deport them. ;)

Well stated, interesting concept.

Since they have renounced their U.S. citizenship, we need to confront them with a new series of loyalty oathes...which they would of course refuse for the usual reasons "McCarthyism" etc. We should then deport the refuseniks...to the country most likely to take them. Cuba, Russia, China, North Korea, etc.

Yes, the left was MUCH angrier over Bush's flight to the aicraft-carrier than they were over the murderous attack on 3000 US civilians. Peculiar, ain't it?

I frequent several sites and I can tell you, that on 9/11 the WTC had barely finished collapsing and there were already folks claiming it was a result of our "failed policies", etc. etc. Given the tone of the public comments that I read at that time, I could only infer that there was a barely suppressed glee in seeing our country attacked.
